The costume was striking from It's sim
r plicity, but the stately grace OF the
wearer lent much to the toilet.
Cornelius Vanderbilt danced with
Miss Winslow in the euadrille and af-
} terward promenaded with her. 1t can
not trutbfully be affirmed that Mr.
, Vanderbilt is a graceful dancer. He
hops about with more zest than science
but he goes through his work with I'M
failing good humor and an entire ab-
sence of affection that causes him to be
fayorably regarded by the spectators.
THE BELLE OF THE BALL.
Altogether it was Miss Winslow's
night. She carried off all honors.
The chic dancer of the night was Miss
Elsie De Wolf. Clad in an odd shade of
green, the clever young woman was
greatly admired. One of the agreeable
sights Of the night was presented when
| Miss De Wolf was seated on the stage OF
the ballroom beneath a spreading mass
of palm tree foliage, the green leaves
contrasting tellingly with the lighter
shade OF her pretty gown. The half sup
pressed light falling from the Japanese
lanterns overhead added to the pictur-
sequences of the situation. Perhaps
Mis-, De VOLTS artistic sense realized the
advantages of her position, for she &C.
cupied it long time, the "cynosure of
all eyes, as the phrase goes.
| The show of jewels was small. Mrs.
William AstOr wore neck set of emer-
aids and diamonds that are famous and
|
gems, but on the whole the stranger
would have been disappointed.
Among the attractive married
women of the evening was Mrs.
Ogden Goelet, who was charm
ingly attired, so far as the details
could be studied, for there was con-
stantly a crowd Of men around her cut
ting off opportunities for inspection.
THE END OF POLO.
The practical wind up of polo occur
red on Thursday, when the juvenile
games occurred.
1t was foreshadowed in these columns
several weeks ago that the East Indian
game had received a setback as the re-
suit of the matches with the Hurting
ham team from London last summer. A
party of individually clever young men,
most of them fair riders, who had been
t1attered by their friends and the people
into believing that they were brilliant"
players, came in contact with the ex-
perlenced veterans of the game from
cross seas. Some of the latter had
learned the intricacies of the sport on
the torrid plains of India, its home. Be-
fore their scientific playing the home
men went down like grass befo the
mowers which keep the turf on the polo
grounds in order.
The Englishmen sold out their ponies
at fancy prices and went home consider
ably better off in pocket. although the
home team were shrewd enough not TO
do any bookmaking after the first con-
test.
The grounds of the Clue will be open
for practice until October. Some of the
leading members of the club are in
mourning, which fact is advanced as q
partial reason for the fzzie of the season.
Captain Blake, the general factotum
of the club, has left town to prepare for
the coming meeting at Cedarhurst.
Mr.. WILDER ABROAD.
The entertainments of the week have
swamped the interest in the individual
and there is but little personal intelli-
gence worth reporting.
Master" Marshall P. Wilder, as the
children about the Ocean House call
him, has slipped away 10 pastures fresh
at Saratoga. Before departing he told
his experience with the Princess Mary of !
Teck at the house of Mrs. Captain I
Paget, in London. The little man put |
himself on his dignity and resented any |
seeming slight from sOciety-a circum- |
stance which resulted in painstakings, |
perhaps OF satirlcal nature, not to Of |
fend him. Wilder was shown up stairs |
to the drawing room at Mrs. FACETS, |
where for half an hour he was permitted |
to cool himself solitary and alone. Then
in came Mrs. Paget, with the Princess
Mary of Teck and several others. They |
did not notice the humorist and seated
themselves in a distant corner, where
they converSed. TIE little man grew
furiously angry at the seeming Slight
and finally, III as majestic manner as he
could assume, he approached the ladies.
made profound bow and FASTENED out
of the house. A funkey was sent in
chase by Mrs. Paget, and capturing
Wilder led him back to the drawing
room.
You ought to have seen how morti-
neO tne Princess ana the OtherS were, "
he said. WHY. the tears came to Mrs
Paget's eyes, and she apoiogized. They
took me up at once and the Princess
was very kind"
